Maybe, but no big surprises with this one.  If one was going to leak early, this was the best one to leak.

Usually by now theres "juicier stuff" leaked. I remember photos of the s3 being posted like a week before the catalog was released.

 

I also thought there was one internet wholesaler that always had locos and prices listed early, can't remember the name. I'm guessing Lionel may have "clamped down" on this.

So, question on how this works.  Does this mean that the hobby stores have the catalogs, but are told that they can't give them out until after the date and time?  Or does this mean that's the soonest the hobby store will see any copies?  I ask because I want to be sure to get a copy of the catalogs, but my normal LHS that gave me them for free is closing soon, and the other LHS changes for catalogs.

Wasn't that Wholesale Trains? I remember the recent catalog where everyone got excited that a DM&IR "Yellowstone" had been rumored, but then that dealer posted the photos showing it was a fantasy scheme EM-1 and burst everyone's bubble lol

I'll bite, even thouhg I know you can't say until Monday.

 

Old MSRP was $800, New MSRP = $900?  More?

 

Even though I didn't pay quite as low as the sale price for my 2 early last year, I'm thinking the price probably went up enough that I am better off than I would have been if I waited until later to buy one.

Stu,

 

What would ever you give you any ideas like this ?   Guess we can hope for some more mint cars, now that would be sweet.  Speaking of sweet, wonder if there will be any more Hershey items ?

 

WOW, nice work boilermaker. Sure looks like some home runs in the steam department. Lots of stuff folks have been wanting for along time i.e. the AC-12.

 

I've got my eye on a NYC "heavy mike", it will be interesting to see if this is Lionels original mikado tooling or "all new".

 

Let the speculation begin
